Hey thats what i did!
I got hooked too, only the pet shop sold me a girl. When I do start breeding I would gladly give some away to someone who would love and care for it.
When I tell people I have a BP most say "ewww" but a few start asking questions, I will point them here and tell them all the things you learn.
After a 4 hour dicussion with a friend of my husband and me, and his wife. (he likes snakes and wants one but she has only heard the horror stories) They have asked me to "hold one back" when I do start breeding.
As long as they are willing to buy the proper setup and show me its all ready, the will get the surprise that the baby they get is free.
